Storyline

Based on Richard Osman’s international bestselling novel of the same name, The Thursday Murder Club follows four irrepressible retirees – Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley) and Joyce (Celia Imrie) – who spend their time solving cold case murders for fun. When an unexplained death occurs on their own doorstep, their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn as they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.

Director

Halfway through their investigation, the retirees’ first-look images show how director Chris Columbus, whose credits include “Home Alone” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” strikes a mix between humor and suspense. Brosnan’s Ron exudes roguish charm, and Mirren’s Elizabeth demands presence, perfectly encapsulating the novel’s blend of suspense and wit.
